policy toward the international criminal court or icc. after years of effort by self-styled global governance advocates, the icc, a supranational tribunal that could supersede national sovereignty's and directly prosecute individuals for alleged war crimes was agreed in 1998. for icc proponents, this supranational independent institution has always been critical to their efforts to overcome the perceived failure of nation-states. even those with strong constitutions representative governments and the rule of law. in theory, the icc holds perpetrators to the most egregious atrocities accountable for their crimes. it provides justice to the victims and deters future abuse abuses. in practice, however, the court has been ineffective, unaccountable, and indeed, outright dangerous. moreover, this is a code pink my friends who follow me around. i apologize for the background noise, but there we go. moreover, the largely outspoken but always central aim of its most vigorous supporters was to constrain the united states. the objective was not lim
